Michael Ian Black Wants to Roast You on Twitter

Apparently Michael Ian Black fans are also fruitcake lovers. The TV and movie star only managed to raise $155 in the Regift the Fruitcake charity drive, and now the joke's on you — literally.

Tomorrow from 2 to 3 p.m. EST Black will be poking fun at you, his Twitter followers, via tweets in exchange for $5 donated to charity.

Apart from the obvious boon of donating to a good cause — Sunrise Community to be exact — your $5 donation nets you one tweet that pokes fun at you, distributed to a captive audience of 1.5 million Twitterers, courtesy of the caustic comedian.

It's self-promotion with charity in mind, and it should help you get noticed and help Black add to his funds raised. The second attempt clearly speaks to social action through recognition, so it should be interesting to see how many good-willed or ego-fueled Twitterers step up to the plate.

Want to be made of fun of, get exposure and support a good cause? Here's how you can get roasted by Michael Ian Black:
